8th Annual
Halloween Ghost Story Contest -- 2005

Nowhere else in the world has as rich a
literary history in the horror genre as New England. Edgar
Allan Poe & H. P.
Lovecraft (arguably the two greatest horror authors who ever
lived) were both born in New England and lived out portions of
their lives here (the former in Boston, MA; the latter in Providence,
RI). Even some of the
best known modern horror authors (most notably Stephen King,
born in Portland, ME) hail from
our section of the country.

Building on this rich local tradition and
in a spirit of fun, we're offering our eighth annual Ghost
Story Contest.
